“Take exit 42, which is the North Brookhaven exit, if you’re head North or South, head East. And take your first left on industrial park road. Once you take that first left on Industrial Park road, don’t turn, stay straight through two red lights, a stop sign. When you come through that, don’t stop till you see the Ferris Wheel.”
That Ferris Wheel, standing at over 90 feet tall, is the largest mobile ferris wheel in the country.
